Method: LinuxStat::User.get_login

Defined in:

lib/linux_stat/user.rb

.get_login ⇒ Object

Calls LinuxStat::Sysconf.get_login()

The username is returned as a String.

It doesn’t get affected by ENV

But if the name isn’t available (say inside a container), it will return an empty String.

This is meant for speed but not for reliability. To get more reliable output, you might try LinuxStat::User.get_user()

# File 'lib/linux_stat/user.rb', line 155

def get_login
  LinuxStat::Sysconf.get_login
